There is a vocal minority of faux gothic, obsessed, brooding morons who don't even want to move past the fact that Dante looks different. He doesn't have white hair, which is apparently a prerequisite for dull antiheroes (Geralt of Rivia notwithstanding, because he actually has some interesting dialog).

I'm sure the bad reviews are some message board's coordinated effort to let Capcom know the otaku will not tolerate this reboot.
